Dr. Cynthia Westbrook, DC

From the heart of Monterey, California, comes a story of passion, dedication, and a deep love for healing. Dr. Cynthia Westbrook, a Doctor of Chiropractic at New Beginnings Chiropractic, has been a beacon of wellness on the Monterey Peninsula for over three decades — offering not just her expertise, but a warmth rooted in genuine care for people, animals, and the natural world around her.

A native Californian, Dr. Cynthia earned her bachelor’s degree in nutrition from Humboldt State University in 1979. Fascinated by the human body’s innate intelligence and its ability to heal itself, she completed two years of pre-med studies in biology, zoology, and physics before enrolling at Palmer College of Chiropractic-West, where she earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1990.

Together with her husband, Dr. Richard Westbrook, she stepped into private practice, bringing to life a shared vision of holistic care and wellbeing. A lifelong student, Dr. Cynthia continually expands her knowledge through advanced technique courses and re-licensing, keeping her methods on the cutting edge of chiropractic science. Her technique of choice — the Activator Methods® — is renowned for its gentle touch and profound results, mirroring her approach to care.

Her dedication to health extends well beyond the practice. The Monterey Peninsula has been her home since 1991, where she embraces the outdoors with long walks with her dogs and time among the local forests and beaches. Her own commitment to healthy living is steadfast, including regular chiropractic adjustments and nutritional supplementation.

Dr. Cynthia’s credentials are as impressive as her commitment to her community. She is board-certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and licensed by the California State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and she holds an Advanced Proficiency Rating in the Activator Methods® Technique.

Every day, Dr. Cynthia Westbrook is grateful for the privilege of contributing to the health and vitality of her community. Her mission is simple: to help every patient experience the fullness of life — free from pain and full of potential. At New Beginnings Chiropractic, you’re not just another patient; you’re part of a family dedicated to nurturing health and growth.
